The instructions place the link in the "Quick Links" menu, below the "Who's Online" selection

Any ideas?

demo demo1

Thanks

[HMBeaty]

Is it turned on? Also, you have to be a registered member to see the link. I won't be able to see your link on your site

[LI Pets]

yes it's turned on, log in with demo, demo1

Thanks

[HMBeaty]

Ok, I'm not sure why it isn't showing. I can see it in the source code. Try removing

<if condition="$vboptions[usml_mod_application_options_on] == '1' AND $show[member]">
</if>

Does it work?

[LI Pets]

got this

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

The conditional on line 309 appears to be missing its beginning tag (<if>). This may cause unexpected behavior.

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.
